They still have to play the loser of the Netherlands / Argentine match.
If it winds up being Argentina verses Brazil blood will flow.

I think it will be an all Europe final.

Their soccer team failed to win and so their lives have been ruined and cannot be redeemed.That's Cleveland.

*Scolari will never coach in Brazil again.
*Julio Cesar will never be recalled to Brazil’s National Team ever again
*Probably the only ones who will ever done the Brazilian yellow jersey again will be the ones who were injured (Neymar) and didn’t play (Thiago Silva). Everybody else has played their last game for the Selecao.

And church is just a “ceremony”. South Americans & a lot of Europeans live & die by soccer. Sad but true.

He said he just needs their bank details and pin numbers to complete the transaction!Does that mean after he gets their good faith money, then he will pay all of them back? Seems to me, I have heard this before.

Reading the English translation in El Globo, a huge Brazilian daily, news of the massacre reached the beaches of the Copacabana “where a huge mass robbery was taking place.” I thought that was slightly amusing.

Yeah, forgot about that. If Brazil should lose that game to Argentina I’m thinking their coach oughta get out of the country before the game is over, lol!

Why do they have the third place game? Do any of the teams want it?
I suppose if a Cameroon or Costa Rica (or USA) got that far, they would enjoy one last chance to go home on a high-ish note.
But Argentina or the Netherlands won't possibly want to be there. Just to beat (while getting fouled like crazy) eleven Brazilians on heavy anti-depressant meds.

That has happened in other countries. Yes. The Iraqi national team was run by Uday "Chuckles" Hussein, who, at various times, flogged, bastinadoed, and beat team members whose performance was not up to expectations, shaved their heads, forced them to kick concrete soccer balls, and dragged them through gravel quarries. I believe there was a Youtube video of Uday personally beating the soles of one player's feet with a cane. I've had tough bosses before but that?...
